Another tip for getting the most out of products like Iron X and other decon gels is to use air to apply them quickly, evenly, and much less wastefully. I use the Optimum spray gun to apply mine instead of the supplied trigger sprayer.

TRIX is cheaper than Iron-X. My understanding is that it is less effective than using Iron-X and Tar-X separately.

Re: Tip for Iron X users - Rinse well to avoid molding drip
other things to know:
1) wear some type of gloves
2) wear disposable mask
3) have a dedicated "IRON-X" wash media
4) WASH your clothes ASAP because the odor will linger long after you are
Finished w/your detail session.
Will say this though... It is a must- have go to product.

Re: Tip for Iron X users - Rinse well to avoid molding drip
Mike, Seriously newb question here, but I keep expanding my understanding. Where is this iron coming from, other vehicles, nature, just airborne pollution? I can remember when I was younger seeing a certain chemical company plant near my home and it was always a shade of red and everything around it as well, so I am guessing it's just a naturally occurring containment, would that be correct? Also is it safe to use Iron-X 2 times a year or more since there is no actual abrasion on the clear coat unlike clay or polishing?
OK, I did a search but I didn't see anything about Iron-X and PPF, any thoughts?

Iron particles are part of general industrial, transport and traffic pollution.
Rail dust from transporting cars via railroad
Industrial pollution in the way of airborne fallout.
Airborne brake dust from the rotors of cars in traffic.
That's off the top of my head... big picture is all you have to do is use an iron remover a few times and the visual IMPACT of the contamination on your car's paint turning red and bleeding off is enough to convince most people that iron contamination does in fact exist. Where it comes from can be interesting but I don't spend much time trying to figure out the cause, just the remedy.

Probably.

Yes. I use an iron remover on our Mercedes-Benz about every other wash and always see contamination bleeding off.

Completely safe when used with common sense, i.e. don't allow to dry on the surface in direct sun. Don't scrub paint protection films when using ANYTHING on them. Treat them like you might scratch them just by touching them and you'll avoid scratching them.

Re: Tip for Iron X users - Rinse well to avoid molding drip
Once a car is coated can I use an iron remover once a year to keep the finish clean without hurting the coating? I was thinking to avoid mechanical decon because of the rubbing motion, so what's best here?
